Zed ships 1.0 with GIFs, bookmarks, commit diffs

Zed’s 1.0 release adds a handful of quality-of-life features that fit its speed-first editor philosophy: Markdown Preview can now play GIFs, the command palette can open any commit diff via `git: view commit`, and the gutter now supports bookmarks so users can stop abusing breakpoints as makeshift markers. The release reads like a polished milestone rather than a flashy pivot, with small workflow upgrades that make the editor more practical for daily use.

// ANALYSIS

Strong milestone release: Zed is leaning into real editor ergonomics, not just performance and AI branding.

–Markdown Preview GIF support is a small but user-visible fix that improves docs and note workflows.
–Commit diff navigation from the command palette is a sharp git workflow upgrade for power users.
–Bookmarks fill a basic but important gap for navigation-heavy editing sessions.
–The release reinforces Zed as a serious general-purpose editor, not only an “AI code editor.”
